Looks sick, but I'm not a fan of the fork. Have you had any problems with it? My friend talked to Bender and he said that he blew some ridiculous number like 4 or 9 BigFoots in a month.

DropitJohn · 12-06-2003, 06:56 PM

I do Like the fork, i have to say this because it has saved my ass a few times. i was hucking off about a 9, 10ft ladder drop and landed front heavy on some rocks a few times and it saved me. it loses oil quickly so i havta get it refilled alot but its a good fork.

someone said that it has this weird ass blowthrough oil valve on it somewhere, it feels hella soft when your riding on it, but thats only because the oil isn't moving fast enough to stiffen it, but off big hits the oil can't all get through the little hole so it stiffens up. that might be the thing that blew apart for bender off his hucks, but i dont think i'll bne doing any 40fters soon, so i think im safe.

wow my fingers are tired

It's a 5th element rear shock and he doesn't have the "Kewl Carbon Fiber Protecters on that Fork" because I didn't have them when I sold it to him. When I bought it the guy didn't have them.

I've been stalking you!

Well, it's kinda easy to see from the picture and then I have ridden with you.... I guess I'm just good at remembering bike stuff

Nemesis Gnat · 12-08-2003, 11:52 AM

Im writing this here so youll see it when you look at your own damn bike and think of it. Post my pictures too. I have no idea how to do it, and you do, so do it. (Plus you have all of the pictures anyway)

Nemesis Gnat · 12-08-2003, 11:53 AM

Ill try with what I have.

Dog · 12-09-2003, 07:26 PM

I cant remember if I was there THE last weekend or the one before? I think it was the Last? I was on a Yellow Super 8 though. I cant remember Your 8 though? Did we talk? I met a bunch of Cool Cats from the South Bay. San Hoe. It was a Great Time. I even have some Video of them somewhere around here. I got Beat Up Pretty Bad,as well as the Bike. Dont Tell me you were the One on the Lift when I stacked hard into the Rock right underneath the Lift on Karp? When the Medic's just by Luck were walking the Trail? It felt good when they came up that's for sure. Anyway,I'm out.

U must of gotten hella hert 2 need the medix what happened.

DropitJohn · 12-10-2003, 04:59 PM

yeah i'm pretty sure i saw you at N*, we said a few words like "nice bike, i really like that frame" type stuff, and i think i did see a guy on a yellow S8 stack on karpiel (did you hear someone yell something at you, from the chair, when u fell?). I went down it that run and i didn't find anyone so i guess the medix are prettyy quick.

Dog · 12-10-2003, 05:16 PM

the Medics were checking the trail at the time. I just happend to come bombing down the trail and crashed RIGHT in front of them.
They saw the whole thing.

Its the steep section right near the end of the trail. It leads you into a 3 foot drop,then right hand turn to the stump jump swooping back into a left turn. I was jumping the last set of rocks and getting cocky. This time I jumped a set of Rocks,landed and hit another rock,stripping the Bars from my hand. I plowed into a Boulder on my Left. A big one. The bike went to the right.
The Medics said I had it and did not know what happenend?

I tape my wrist's. So they took all that off,my Roach arm Armor,ask'ed me a ton of questions and then let me go. I had a DEEP Bruise that was the size of two Golf Balls by the time I took my Armor off on my Forearm. It was the end of the day and I had enough. If I had not had my Armor on,I have no Idea how bad it could have been? I rode to the bottom of the Mnt. and had a Cold one. I'm out.

Dog · 12-10-2003, 05:30 PM

Dangit,I dont remember talking to you? However,I do remember hearing voices from above on the Lift,that's for sure. I had that line Dialed,I get all pumped up for some strange reason when I know people are watching? So it hurts when you stack in front of them. That's the way it goes. Peace,I'm out.
